Visit Home

On the way back from Siquijor we visited my fiancées home. It was nice to see her Mum, Dad and son again.

Her brother was doing some cooking in the Kitchen. I hope to do some cooking soon but will need to practice my fire lighting skills first.

Being new years eve most families were preparing for the new year celebrations.

Siquijor Siquijor

Hired a motorbike to go to the town of Siquijor on Siquijor. This is a view of some of the shops.

A nice little busy town where you can get most of your needs, however if you need to change money you need to go on a bit further to the town of Larena.

Delta Ferry

Once in Dumaguete airport a short taxi ride to the ferry.  The Delta ferry to Siquijor takes about an hour and costs 160 pesos plus a terminal fee of 15 pesos. If you have heavy bags you can ask a porter to put them on and take them off for a small tip.

Manila to Dumaguete

Arrived at Manila airport terminal 1. My flight to Dumaguete was on Cebu Pacific Airways. These fly from terminal 3 so a taxi for about 300 pesos will get you there.

The flight is just under an hour.

Seoul Incheon Airport - 5th Trip

This airport is South Korea's premier air facility. It is situated 32 miles west of Seoul City Centre. This airport is so big a very well organised. There is always plenty of room to go to sleep if you have a long wait when transferring. Walking around the shops will keep you fit as it is really long with all the shops right by the gates.

The flight from London Heathrow is about 11 hours. Then normally about 3 hour wait for the next flight to Manila in the Philippines.
The temperature at Seoul Airport was about -3C with snow all over the airport. Temperature will go down to about -7C through the night.
